About Renewal

Our Story

Twenty years of God's faithfulness in West Philadelphia.

Where we began

West Philly born and raised

Renewal Presbyterian Church was birthed in 2006 out of a mono-ethnic church in West Philadelphia, with a vision to be a multi-ethnic church for our city. Over the years, as people began gathering from across Philadelphia, Renewal has had the privilege of helping launch new congregations in the region.

Who we are today

A young, growing church

Renewal is made up largely of an age group that is increasingly missing in many churches across the American landscape. Our congregation includes college students, young professionals, and young families, along with a growing number of children and teens. Of course, all are welcome to visit and join!
